Yes to EU reform
The EU Reform Treaty has been unanimously approved by the Italian parliament. The daily La Repubblica welcomes the ratification of the Treaty of Lisbon: "The anti-EU Lega Nord, which during the election campaign pushed for a referendum on the ratification, has joined ranks with the majority and the opposition. ... The Italian ratification is the only way to get the process of European integration which came to a standstill following the failure of the EU constitution in France and the Netherlands in 2005 going again. And at a time when for the most part Italy earns criticism and warnings from the EU, this unanimous approval does it good."

Fewer soldiers, more intelligence
The Italian daily sees the planned restructuring of the French Army as the result of a shift in principles: "Fewer soldiers, more intelligence. A flexible and efficient defence force that can respond to the new threat of terrorism, not just war. This is the form Nicolas Sarkozy's new army is to take. ... The decision will not bring major changes on a practical level, but certainly on the level of doctrine. ... Not only does Sarkozy plan to equip the armed forces of his own country with more intelligence technology. He has also called on the EU to set up a small army of 60,000 soldiers that would enable Europeans to take joint action and be active in every corner of the Union where there is a crisis, even for longer periods of time."
